Is it normal for babies to fart a lot?

Farting is a very normal thing, but in life, some parents still worry about whether their children's development is normal when they see such young children farting. This is actually understandable to everyone. Of course, in order to reveal all the mothers' worries about this issue, we still want to share with you some common reasons why babies fart.

Frequent farting is very common in infancy. Babies who are just a dozen days old and have been breastfed may sometimes come out with a little poop when they fart, and their stomachs may often make gurgling sounds.

The gastrointestinal tract of infants is immature, which causes uncoordinated intestinal motility at different stages of the baby's life and causes intestinal bloating - gurgling sounds in the stomach, frequent gas and farting, and frequent unexplained crying. This phenomenon is medically known as infantile colic. Infant colic refers to a healthy, well-nourished baby who cries for at least three hours a day, at least three days a week, for more than three weeks. Most babies start to show symptoms 2 to 3 weeks after birth and gradually improve after 3 to 4 months. Since infant colic is a problem in the baby's development, parents do not need to worry and should understand that this kind of crying by the baby is not a disease. At the same time, keep the baby in a comfortable position as much as possible to help the child defecate smoothly. If the situation is more serious, you can take some drugs to improve gastrointestinal motility.

For infantile colic that is difficult to relieve, milk protein allergy should be considered. The amount of milk can be reduced or the milk can be diluted appropriately. For children who are suffering from diarrhea, taking probiotic powders such as Mommy Love or Biostime can shorten the course of diarrhea and regulate the gastrointestinal system.

If you fart frequently, farting can give you insight into your baby's gastrointestinal condition. Here are a few points for you:

1. Many times babies love to fart and they are all smelly farts or they hiccup constantly with a sour and smelly smell. This indicates that your baby has indigestion. You should reduce the amount of milk, add boiled water to reduce the intake of fat and high-protein foods, make the food thinner, and add appropriate amounts of milk containing bifidobacteria and glucose. Bifidobacteria can be converted into bifidobacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, which have the effect of inhibiting Escherichia coli and promoting food digestion and absorption. This is one of the reasons why babies love to fart.

2. Why do babies love to fart, and they are empty farts?

Farting continuously and intermittently but without any odor is mostly caused by increased intestinal motility due to hunger after the gastrointestinal tract is emptied. At this time, you can often hear bowel sounds. In this case, the child is hungry and should be fed in time. The baby's love of farting is also related to hunger.

3. More farts

Frequent farts and excessive feces are often caused by children eating too much food with high starch content. At this time, you should reduce the intake of food with high starch content and increase the intake of protein and fat food appropriately. This is an inconvenient reason why babies love to fart.

The following are some suggestions on why babies love to fart:

1. Parents who wonder why their babies love to fart are advised to hold the baby upright after the baby finishes feeding, and gently pat his (her) back with your hollow palms to make the baby burp and expel the gas. This way the baby will feel much more comfortable.

2. When the baby sucks milk, he will suck air into his stomach, which makes his stomach gurgle and causes him to fart more often. This is also one of the reasons why babies love to fart.

Mothers should carefully observe their baby's living and eating habits, find out the real reason why the baby likes to fart, and solve the problem of why the baby likes to fart in time.

The above is an introduction to some knowledge about baby farts. I hope it can be helpful to all my friends. Finally, I would like to remind you that you must let your children develop good bowel habits on a daily basis. This will make your children more healthy, happy and successful, and it will also be more beneficial to their physical and mental health.
